I developed severe testicular pain 7 months ago that has gotten slightly better but not completely. I also have lower back pain and have been diagnosed with a bulging disc at L5-S1. I also have strange sexual dysfunction symptoms that could be related. My scrotum is definitely looser than it was before symptoms started (loss of muscle tone), I have impaired ability to get an erection and climax and even am rarely ever aroused. I havent had a wet dream in the 7 months since symptoms started. I also have a weaker bladder. My doctors tell me that the back injury isnt serious and no treatment is required but I am afraid that the nerve damage/irritation and symptoms wont go away.
Does anyone have any insight into my condition?

Go get an opinion from another doctor.

You need another opinion on this. Go to another Doctor. A General practitioner should be able to find help for the dysfunction since that is the problem.

Please read the following article to see if any of the items listed apply to you. If they do – then a complete lifestyle change is mandatory to help you resolve your issue. If they don’t – then seek a second opinion from another doctor.
What are my options?
Definite DON’Ts
Alcohol
Alcohol kills reproductive cells and decreases sperm viability. It also disrupts the link between the brain and the penis. Excessive use of alcohol inhibits the creation of the male sex hormone, androgen.
Smoking
Nicotine reduces arterial pressure and as a result, prevents blood circulation to the penis. In addition, toxic substances from smoking are detrimental for sperm maturation.
Marijuana
Sharply reduces the level of male sexual hormones, disrupts chromosomes and promotes undesired genetic changes.
Anabolic Steroids
Anabolic steroids bear a close resemblance to testosterone and as a result, the body stops its natural production causing impotence to occur.
High Cholesterol
Too much cholesterol blocks the vessels providing blood to the penis and thereby reduces the blood flow necessary to maintain an erection.
Overweight
Being overweight can disrupt your hormone balance and, as a result, the production of hormones necessary for achieving erection can become insufficient.
Chemical drugs
Studies show that out of two hundred most used medicines; as many as sixteen are likely to cause impotence. Among the most risky are drugs used for the treatment of high blood pressure, depression, insomnia, ulcers, tumors, plus a couple of medications used to combat allergy.
